Abe Brown Ministries - Testimonials

			UPDATE: Transitional Living Program Graduate ABM has taught us to have a relationship with God, stand firm in the faith and live life above reproach. TLP teaches us to guard our motives, to not just talk the Word, but live and walk it out to pave the road...set an example for those who come behind us. We are the hope of those who are coming back to society. God has had a great impact on the TLP and a great blessing. Leave God, you end up in the same situation as before. God is first in my life; the goals you set, the work you do, to make a strong family...you MUST have God in it! Volunteer - Leslie Peters Halfway House (Youth) I had a blast today bro. The thing about these kids there is they are all great kids but just lost, they don't have guidance in their life. When you spend time with them it makes their days to know you cared. They listen to every word we say and want to know Jesus and become better people for themselves and their families. Adam Hayward Tampa Bay Buccaneers Volunteer- Leslie Peters Halfway House (Youth) Tonight was my first time going to the Leslie Peters Halfway House. What an awesome experience! I'm not going to lie, at first, I was pretty nervous for I have never done anything like that before. I prayed that God would clear my head so that He may speak through me and that His will would be done. I got there at 5:30 with the expectation of leaving at 6:45. I stayed until 8:00! When I left I felt so fulfilled! A feeling, I must confess, I haven't felt for a while. I went there with the intentions of helping troubled teens but by the time I left, they helped me feel unbelievably close to my Heavenly Father. Ryan Obenreder


			Support in the Community Working in the National Football League as a coach has given my wife Lauren and me a platform to do a lot of things to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have had the opportunity to work with Abe Brown Ministries for the last three years, and it has been a great blessing to us. Our prisons today are filled with many young men and woman who have great potential. They need encouragement and need to know that through Jesus Christ, they can overcome anything. We have been invited to speak at a lot of places, but Abe Brown Ministries has given us a chance to reach an audience that most of society ignores. We feel we are following Christ's example by sharing with those who may have the greatest desire to hear some Good News. The response is always gratifying and that's what makes it so special. We know that it is time well spent! Tony and Lauren Dungy
